Stalkers do have Sniper attacks, in the patron pools.
Sniper attacks have very limited application in PvE anyway. Generally speaking, unless there's some reason you can't get close enough to a target to use regular ranged attacks, sniper attacks are less efficient than any other type of attack. Snipes can be a handy pulling tool on occasion, but they're mostly useful for thematic purposes. -

QA team members: Alpha Wolf; Beta Wolf
New Mod: Beastyle
New travel power: Beast Run
New Pack: Animals
This leads me to one inescapable conclusion. Our Devs are on Team Jacob.
Beast Run will be good for a number of my animalistic alts. i wouldn't call most of them "furry" in the usual sense since they're more feral and horrific than sexy in appearance. (Of course on the internet there's always someone, somewhere into anything you can imagine as well as everything that you'd rather not...) -
...terrier.
Dear terrier owned by the Devs,
Could you please let them know that the sliding door for Agent G's second mission needs tweaking?
I'd suggest barking it out in 8 bit binary ASCII. Short, loud barks for one and longer, softer barks for zero. This could take about 15 minutes of nonstop barking and drive them to madness, but it's a small price to pay for the fix.
Thank you,
Pat Terwilliger, esquire -

Mastermind trap's set, acid mort can take targetted aoe set (Ragnarok chance for knockdown, for the win!). Just got my traps corruptor to 50 and.... Corruptor (and apparently defender) acid mort can only take ranged damage sets? For what's the same power?
Anyone know if this is a bug or a weird change they made and will have confirmed "working as intended" ?

Speaking of CoT and lv 50, are there any mobs which has soul transfer? (lol autohit 30 mag hold)
Super Stunners have a modified version of Soul Transfer that saps instead of stunning. Close enough? -

Quote:Pretty sure Mononoke came out decades after Miyazaki began making movies. Just sayin'...Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
Is Miyazaki's first film being mentioned here Princess Mononoke or Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind?
Sorta related, the Lightship battle at the end of the new Tron reminded me of the Valley of he Wind. -

I'm looking at taking my Widow to hero as quickly after she turns 20 as I can. My question is: I believe SoA get to choose a "career-like" path at 24, but do they have to speak to a villain contact in order to do so? So if I were to go full hero on her, would I still be able to get that respec?

Quote:That sounds a lot like Lota (Long Gunner of the Apocalypse).Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
You can take my orbital railcannon when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!
Anyway, sub-quantum portal technology.
You target designate, set up the trans-space uplink, the weapons platform in geo-sync orbit on the dark side of the moon fires through it's main portal hub, the shot comes out the uplink down planetside and fries whatever god damned goo-bag you were aiming at.
Simples!
Lota is both the user and the weapon since Lota installed Lota's mind into the systems of the station/gun formerly know as Credomar which had been converted into an O'Neil style orbital colony up until Lota evacuated the residents and powered up the gun again. -

Quote:Comic artist Nina Matsumoto's blog has a post about the diversity of body types in Olympic athletes as a reference for comic artists. There's a wide range of body shapes and sizes presented. Keep in mind every one of those people in the photos is an Olympic athlete, not simply an average person off the street.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Actually not true. Some people have naturally bulkier arms than some. Or other parts are, y'know, different or unique, as humans all are.

Quote:Weird. It's like you're implying that things like female bodybuilders exist, and that they have highly defined musculature, but we all know that that doesn't exist in comic books, much less the real world. (At least according to some.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Because all women have a 'perfect' hourglass figure, with neat skinny waists and super model legs and giant busts-
Oh, wait.
) Even worse is that it carries the implication that some people might find that sort of thing attractive when we all know that only women with large racks, skinny waists, pronounced buttocks, and minimal muscling are attractive. Blasphemer!

Quote:in at least one instance with a MM who had catatonic pets in Praetoria i used /releasepets and then resummoned them. They still would not move. They would give the acknowledgment message when given an order and then continue to do nothing. In my experience logging out long enough to reset all character states (15 minutes?) was sufficient to fix it, but it is quite annoying.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
No need to do that.
/releasepets then resummon. (As mentioned before.) It essentially kills your pets (works for controllers, too) as opposed to just dismissing.
Yes, it is an irritating bug. -

Quote:To be more accurate it should be phrased "and three months." since you have to wait another three months to access each additional veteran reward in addition to the money you pay.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
You can. Even at their most expensive, they're $47.97 every three months.
i'm still of the opinion that most all of the veteran reward powers that aren't already accessible through other means like mission rewards, crafting, and accolades should have one of those options added. The advantage to veteran rewards will still be that they're automatically acquired on each character and are permanent. -

The RNG is always with you even if you don't notice it.
Look back at your tracks in the sand...
The places where you see only one set of tracks is where the RNG was particularly nice and carrying you.
The places where there's two sets of tracks is where the RNG was strolling casually along beside you occasionally tossing you a treat and sometimes laughing behind your back.
And of course the areas where there's an impression of a full length body with the head imprint the deepest part is where the RNG knocked you down and was jumping up and down on your head shouting, "Say my name, *****! SAY! MY! NAME!"
RNG is always with you in game, it's just not always your BFF. -
Quote:i took it to mean attacks that require a tohit roll but have no defense tags associated with them. Hamidon and his Mitos are the most common example that comes to mind.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
There's no such thing. There's untyped damage, but there isn't an untyped attack vector. You can omit attack vectors entirely (in which case defense doesn't apply), but by nature, every existing attack vector has a corresponding defense type.
Which is where tohit debuffs are always stronger than defense. (Except possibly PFF IIRC since it buffs Base Defense.)
